as it dispenses wiih the eteeming of the bevereges in the bottles and supplies to the same a fresh taste, great durability, and considerable life and efierveecenoe when decanted.

Having thus described my invention, what; I claim as new, and desire to seen re by Letters Patent, is-'-- The proeeesherein described of preserving fermented beverages, which consists in sub jecting the beverage to en etomizing or spraying action in en etniesphere of carbonic-acid gas under preeeure, permitting the beverage to eocumniete under pressure below said. cerironic-acid gas, permitting the air liberated from the atomized; beverage to accumulate under pressure above the carbonic-acid gas and to eutomatioeiiy blow of! at iuterveis, and drawing off the beverage under pressure of the gas and bottling said beverage under said pressure, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribingwitnesses,
